Zion Williamson's debut with the Duke Blue Devils has many NBA teams salivating over his talent at the next level. Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said he believes Williamson is a generational, LeBron James-level talent. Williamson's explosive moves at his size are very similar to the future Hall of Famer. But others are a little more skeptical of comparing one of the greatest players ever to a kid who hasn't proven anything yet. What do you think?

PERSPECTIVES

If you don't think Zion Williamson is the next LeBron James, you haven't been paying attention to this kid.

He's a 6-foot-7-inch, 285-pound freight train on the break with explosive dunks rarely seen before, much like James. Not only that, Williamson is an underrated playmaker and is already bullying people on the block with his size.

The sky is the limit for Williamson; we could definitely be seeing the next king of the NBA.

Williamson hasn't played a minute of NBA basketball against grown men and is already being compared to one of the most dominating athletes of our time. Calm yourselves.

Sure, Williamson has had some impressive dunks and dominated smaller players, but he hasn't done anything against NBA-caliber talent. We really have yet to see if Williamson can come into the league with the basketball IQ James had and the ability to make plays like the King. The Duke forward has been good but comparing him to James is an insult.
